SENATE JUDICIARY PANEL OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO LORETTA LYNCH…..

This has been a long time in coming. Burning questions need answers. Finally an investigation with substance. So, let’s see what they will look for.

1. The Clinton-Lynch-Obama-Comey tarmac combination. Does anybody really think that Bill Clinton had his plane moved next to AG Loretta Lynch on the Arizona tarmac to discuss their grandchildren? All aids on Lynch’s airplane were asked to leave. Of course not, he… wanted to influence Lynch in her decision to prosecute HRC for her classified emails, destruction of evidence, lying to congress, etc.

2. Lynch-Comey collusion in terming HRC criminal investigation as a “matter” not an investigation. That is what the Clinton campaign wanted so as to tamp down the harshness of the word, “Investigation”. Perhaps, the FBI should change its name to the Federal Bureau of Matters.

3. Collusion with Comey in decision that dropped criminal charges against HRC, even though Comey termed her acts as “extremely careless”. That is tantamount to gross negligence, a felony offense which would either put her behind bars or at the very least swamp her bid for President.

It is quite possible that Susan Rice will be brought in as will former FBI chief Comey. We might very well see an HRC subpoena which will lead to Bill & Hillary misappropriation of Clinton Foundation funds.

Lastly, depending on what they get out of Lynch, Comey et al, this might lead all the way up to Barack Obama. Will she take the 5th? This investigation is the one with real substance and meaning.

Just how complicit was President Obama? What did he know or order that moved Susan Rice to gather intelligence and eavesdrop on private citizens? How was he involved with the Comey-Lynch decision not to prosecute HRC? Will collusion between the Obama administration and the HRC presidential campaign be exposed?

Hopefully, all will come out in due course.

COMEY TAPES….FAUX PAS OR SMART STRATEGY?

President Trump commented that there might be recordings of fired FBI Directory James Comey of their private conversations in the oval office. Trump’s tweet came days before Comey’s appearance before the Senate panel.

FAUX PAS:…
The Democratic line is Comey’s knowledge that tapes of their conversations may exist indicates that he is credible; that he risked perjury charges if he lied.

Left Wing media and Dems suggested that the threat of these tapes was made to intimidate Comey before his testimony. They cried , “Obstruction of justice” and have led to the hiring of a special prosecuter to investigate obtruction and Russian collusion.

SMART STRAGEGY:
Trump’s twitter served another purpose. Even though tapes do not exist, they serve the same purpose as if they did. It kept Comey honest. If he lied, the tapes would bear that out. So, what we got was a truthful and somewhat shocking response to poignant questions. Comey’s answers showed the lack of character and backbone that he had previously displayed when he let HRC off the criminal hook for her classified email debacle.

Further by-products of Comey’s testimony are:
1. Trump was not under iinvestgation for Obstruction of Justice.
2. Comey’s display of weakness, especially when questioned by Democrat Diane Feinstein, was vindication for Trump’s firing of the FBI Director.
3. Comey’s revelation that AG Loretta Lynch demand that he use the term “matter” rather than “investigation” when referring to the HRC inquiry.
4. Comey’s reaction to the Clinton-Lynch meeting on the Arizona tarmac.
5. As a result of his testimony, the Senate Judiciary Panel is now in the process of developing a hearing with Loretta Lynch which could lead to the election collusion that points directly at HRC and President Obama. Remember the Clinton-Lynch-Obama-Comey combination.

IF WE DIDN’T HAVE SO MANY FAINT HEARTED PANSY ASSES RUNNING THIS COUNTRY, WE’D BE REMOVING ILLEGAL ALIENS INSTEAD OF SOUTHERN MONUMENTS

The systematic removal of Southern monuments commemerating Confederate war heros or leaders doesn’t seem right. History is not going to be erased, it makes up our culture, good or bad; it’s who we are and where we came from.

The memoriam are dedicated to those who gave their last full measure of devotion to their country. 650,000 men died in the Civil War. Counting the maimed and wounded, that’s 5% of the popultion in 1865. Removing Southern culture and heritage is an affront to the many descendants from the 11 states that seceded and the 5 who remained partial to the South.

It is difficult to fathom what removal accomplishes other than to produce division and resentment between black and white. Instead of removing all vestiges of the Confederacy, let us use these statues and the names inscribed on them to start a new conversation, one that acknowledges the roles of everyone involved and offers hope for our nation and its people of all colors.

Along the same lines, the Conferate battle flag represents similar sentiment. The Civil War, regardless of sides, is a part of our glorious history. Southern pride will not be wiped out because the flag is discredited or not flown. It changes nothing. Everyone knows the real meaning of the flag…..it is not aimed at blacks nor a hatred of them, rather it is part of our American Southern culture.

FEMINISM

DEFINITION OF FEMINISM:

The belief that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities and should be treated as intellectual and social equals to men.

QUERY: What rights or privileges do men have that women don’t? What can men do that women can’t? Constitutionally and legislatively they are equal in every way. While there are physical constraints, they are not impossible barriers to overcome and usually occur in the military, law enforcement and fire fighters.

A feminist isn’t really interested in equal rights for women. They already have that except in one place: Divorce Court where the playing field is slanted their way.

Women’s marches do not march for all women. The man-hate examples set by Madonna, Ashley Judd, & Elizabeth Warren are indicative of the radical and highly visible arm of Feminism. But what about the pro-lifers, those that don’t embrace the victim mentality, conservative women, and stay at home Moms? Where are their voices?

VICTIMS: The feminist movement teaches women to see themselves as victims of an oppressive patriarchy. Today, young women have more opportunities and more liberties than any women in history, yet their leaders tell them they’re short-changed silenced victims of a male dominated society. The demand for special treatment clouds the real question of equal opportunity .

Stop obsessing about equal outcomes, lest we find ourselves trying to cure society, not of sexism, but of free choice.

THE DEMISE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

We are witnessing the death throes of the Democratic party; the final stages of failure and the ultimate end of a Liberal philosophy that has veered off the track. It has become a toxic brand. Their leaders and their platform are out of step. They are so blinded with a combination of grief over the HRC loss and their hatred for Trump that they no longer care for the well being of their constituency.

This is no temporary insane reaction to the HRC loss, rather, it is a calculated plan to wreck and unseat the President, no matter what the costs to the American people.

Just one week before Trump’s inauguration, Barack Obama issued an extraordinary executive order, a reckless departure from long standing policy, which allowed the NSA to share communications intercepted from private American citizens with the FBI, CIA, & 14 other intelligence agencies. All collected without warrants, court orders, or congressional authorization.

The net effect of this order was to sabotage the new government for the explicit purpose of undermining the newly elected president. It is no surprise that a conveyer belt of leaks has resulted in setting the stage for a rolling coup against the Trump administration.

We are witnessing a combination of agitation and propaganda which justifies a quest for power by any means. Staged demonstrations and chaos followed Trump’s proposed immigration ban. Countless investigations without one bit of proof continue to waste lawmakers’ time so that the goals of the Trump administration are hampered by endless gridlock.

The traditional role of accepting a loss and being respectful to an incoming president no longer exists. Those ideas have always been workable because they revolved around freedom that ties rights to responsibilities. Cooperation from outgoing presidents is and has always been the right, if not mandatory, thing to do. A peaceful change of power is what has kept Democracy alive for almost 250 years..

No so with Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, Schiff, Lewis, et al.

The Dems are in full flight. They lost 1042 state and federal elections including the Presidency. Members of both houses are beginning to speak out and demand a change in leadership of their party.

Too little too late. Yes, it’s the same hackneyed leadership, but more important, it is a tipping over of the far left that is killing the Democrats. They are divided, ideologically rigid, morally corrupt, and lacking in common sense. They are filled with rage and moral superiority toward all that voted against their corrupt candidate.

In the end, Donald Trump is providing some long overdue backbone to the Republican Party. In contrast, the Democratic Party appears to be in the midst of a death struggle. The silent majority saw through all of this come election time. The brought on Trump who vowed to cut the Democratic corruption to a screeching halt. He is doing just that.

HUNTING IS NOT A SPORT BECAUSE THE PREY DOESN’T KNOW IT’S IN THE GAME.

Hunting is often called a sport as a way to pass it off as a socially acceptable, wholesome activity. However, sports involve competition between two consenting parties and the mediation of a referee. No sport ends with the deliberate death of one unwilling participant that didn’t even know it was in the game.

…

The hunter has an advantage over their prey. There is no fair chase as rifles, shotguns, and bows and arrows give the animal little chance of outrunning, let alone fighting. Further, “free range” as defined today rarely implies the vast wilderness that large game once roamed.

HUNTING FOR FOOD:
The number of domestic farm or factory raised animals is into the hundreds of millions whereas the prey in the wild is scarce and there to keep the balance of nature. Farm animals are the basic food that feeds the nation. Wild animals do little to satisfy a hungry population. Hunters rarely eat their kill, and often mount their trophy and hang it on their wall or leave it to be eaten by other animals or a hungry village.

Hunting is not a necessity to feed us or protect us. Rather, it is an ego driven sport where hunters typically select the biggest and strongest of the species….kind of a reverse evolution. Rather than strengthen the breed, they weaken future offspring. Hunting is 3rd on the list of causes of extinction.

HUNTING AS CONSERVATION:

The idea that hunters are conservationist is groundless as hunters’ investment in habitat protection has nothing to do with the habitat itself and everything to do with ensuring future hunting opportunities. This unnecessary violent form of “entertainment” rips animal families apart and leaves countless animals orphaned unable to care for themselves or badly injured when hunters miss their targets.

Hunting also disrupts migration and hibernation patterns and destroys families. For animals such as wolves and geese, who mate for life and live in close-knit family units, hunting can devastate entire communities.

CONCLUSION:
Stop hunting and start filming. A kill is celebrated once by the hunter, a video can be viewed and enjoyed many times over.

PS: The world’s largest elephant was killed a few years ago, see images below.

DEATH OF A PET:

Losing a loving pet is very emotional, but it is a time to be practical and reasonable. Your favorite is physically gone, but will remain a memory that is cherished for many years to come.

So, what is the remedy for the sorrow that we feel and can’t seem to get it out of our mind? The obvious answer is getting another personable dog or cat. They’re all beautiful. Go to a shelter or rescue place and find another beauty. Very soon it will take over your heart… just like the last friend did.

Easier said than done.

You know what joy your best friend brought to you and would want you to have another good buddy to make you laugh, because that’s all he/she wanted to do was to make you happy.

It is an inherent and highly probable risk that your shadow will die before you do. We all share the same risk. So, we have to accept it, enjoy our pets, & treat them better than we treat ourselves.

WHAT IS FAITH?

FAITH IS BELIEVING WHEN COMMON SENSE TELLS YOU NOT TO.

Faith is useful when nothing else seems to work. Common sense and Faith are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Logic on one side, belief on the other.

Seldom do they intersect, they run parallel. When their paths cross, it’s called a miracle. Then both sides claim responsibility.

BRINGING WATER TO CALIFORNIA

MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT-A WATER CONVEYANCE SYSTEM TO BRING WATER TO CALIFORNIA
The scope and scale of this water conveyance system will be equal to the monumental importance of the Panama Canal. Permanent gains will be realized for a minimum of 100 years, perhaps an annuity in perpetuity.
THE PROJECT:
…
A WATER CONVEYANCE SYSTEM: The annual massive floods in the East Coast, Mid-West and Mississippi River eventually drain to the underground water table and then on t…o the ocean or Gulf of Mexico. This wasted flow could be channeled into dams and reservoirs then moved by “aqua-ducts” to the parched Western states including Texas & Oklahoma. The route via the Great Plains thru Arizona to Calif is a fairly simple path to keep construction costs down.

As flood plains rise, large pumps move the excess water westward through pipelines, keeping the large rivers at normal levels. Oil is piped from Alaska similar to the proposed Keystone pipeline. Water is far easier to move and presents no hazards to the environment.

RESIDUAL EFFECT:
1. High paying American jobs would be created for a productive stimulus program that would have a long lasting effect. These jobs would be in the USA and by American companies. Maybe a job for the Corps of Army Engineers who, along with their military brethren will be looking for jobs after deficit spending ceases and massive layoffs start.
2. Clean energy would be produced by water movement.
3. Hardship endured by Mid-West and Mississippi flooding would be eliminated.
4. Much needed water gets to the right places instead of sinking into the water table and swelling the rivers to flood stage.
5. Flood Insurance premiums would go down.
6. Financing could be with long term tax-free government bonds at very low rates. When will it ever get cheaper? How many more treasuries can they sell?
7. Payback by those who use the water, but at a much lower rate than they are paying now.
8. A stimulus program that would fit the size of the need.
9. The bill would be passed with bi-partisan action.
10. Lower food costs with increased crops.

Obviously, this is a project that would have to be sponsored and run through the Federal government because it’s not confined to California.

I contacted Senator Feinstein and she liked the concept but has not followed through. She wrote me a personal letter lauding the idea, but not anything since. I wrote to President Obama six times with no response. Emailed to Trump…nothing yet.

Los Angeles has 2 active aquaducts, the Owens Valley built in 1913 and then one supervised by William Mulholland. Conceivably, it could be an open channel with enough current to keep it from stagnating.
